A week of vacation in beautiful Cayo El Bayo! Trixie thought this was the perfect getaway to rid herself of the hijinks plaguing Ponyvlle for a while. Sadly her peaceful vacation was not meant to be. Out on a snorkelling excursion with her friends, Ditzy dissapears! Now Trixie, Lyra and... Rarity?! Must scour the ocean floor and find their friend.

What they discover is something bigger than the dissapearance of a single pony and might help unravel a thousands of year old mystery of mythic proportion. Can Trixie and her friend unravel the secret of the Lost City of Andalantis?

This story takes place around the same time as Carrot Top of the Line. For official chronological order of Lunaverse stories, and everything Lunaverse, please come visit us in the Lunaverse Group!

I'm not much of an editor either, though tonight I played one on TV, such as it were.

Can't say I agree with everything Fizzy's doing here, at least not in the initial setup, but I'm quite intrigued to see it all play out. Things are looking to have a whole lot of epic potential, infinitely more so than when he first mentioned doing a side-story of what the rest of the cast was up to during CTotL.

Lyra’s specialty when it came to magic was spellsongs, spells recorded in the form of pieces of music. To perform the spell the caster would simply have to match the harmonic frecquency of their magic with the music. Her horn glowing with golden light, Lyra began to perform [url= a]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=72zr1S8Znfw]a series of five notes[/url], her lyra pulsating with magic. Soon the sound of her linstrument was joined by the phantom sound of a type of flute, as the five notes were repeated three times before coming to a soft finish. Like a wave of water the magic washed over the assembled crowd of pony.

That's part of the point of this series, to explore what the mane 6 might be like without the influence of their friends. Fluttershy's more reclusive than ever, Rainbow is (more of) a jerk, Applejack has her work ethic turned up to eleven, Twilight is so antisocial she borders on insane. I've been hoping for Rarity to have a shared 'episode' for a while now so we could see more of her. Apparently she's a b(uy some apples!).

it seems to be making the Luna 6 superior to me. In the show all of them, excep t Trixie are unexplored but decent ponies. Here they're the main good guys, they have flaws but they're good overall. Of course in the show the mane 6 are good guys, but here they're pretty lousy.

So you've got a message of things had to be just right for the mane 6 to turn out right, but for the most part the Luna 6 are okay anywhere

L!Ditzy is a hard working single mother, while the only thing we know for sure of canon M!Derpy is that she seems to be a rather vapid klutz who despite trying to be helpful, tends to do more harm than good.

L!Raindrops is steadfastly dependable and probably the second best weathermare in Ponyville, while M!Raindrops seems to be about as big a klutz as Derpy (it's often forgotten that she was just as culpable in the furniture incident from Feeling Pinkie Keen) and she was also the first pegasus to lose formation during the tornado, taking out several other pegasi as she did.

Neither Carrot Top nor Lyra have ever really done much of note in actual canon, thus we really can't say one way or the other. So about the only L6 who seems to be just a well off in both universes is Cheerilee.

And on a side note, from what we've mostly seen of her, mane!Bon Bon isn't exactly the nicest mare around either. Plus, it's not JUST the lack of friend influence, its a number of factors due to the timeline changes in this 'verse, one of the biggest being the Night Court. While there is probably a 'Day Court' counterpart to them in the maneverse, I, at least, really doubt they have as much influence and power as we've seen in the Lunaverse stories. Heck, from what little we (may have) seen from them, they mostly seem to throw fancy parties, christen ships and other 'for show' tasks.

((Stuff below gets spoilery for those who haven't read the rest of the Lunaverse stories))

We know that L!AJ's issues are at least partly a result of fallout from Court shenanigans years back, and we know that Fluttershy's parents being members seem to have contributed a bit to the way she and Dash have turned out. So while it's not JUST the lack of the friendship bonds that have affected the mane 6 Lunaverse counterparts, it is one of the primary reasons.

Not sure if this'll be one of my favorites among the 'verse, but it's a decent start. Really interesting Discord/Jellyfish mythology (I hate those things, they're hella-creepy!) and I'm curious as to what those mutant shark things are, exactly.

The same author writes 2 stories set at the same time with Rarity in 2 different locations at once. 1 of the Rarities does not know that she has a Gem-Finding Spell and has to improvise when asked about it. If I did not know better, I might believe that the Rarity not knowing about the Gem-Finding Spell should be an impostor. ;-)

>>20724942072494 Yup. But she might have to haul through "bothersome companion" and "annoying ally" first.

“ I guess you want to repay Ditzy any way you can, after allyou were one of the adult taken by Corona on the Longest Night.” commented Lyra.

There's some odd spacing in this (and a missing "s"?) but it seems like a weird declaration to make about someone else. I can get asking a rhetorical question along these lines, but does this seem odd to anyone else?

Fun chapter, you made a good cut off at the end regardless of length the ending worked well setting the rest of the story and character actions up well. Dinky and Sparkler were adorable! The star fish scene was hilarious! and I quite enjoyed the Ditsy meeting the Sea Pony, Cucumber seems fun! I liked Rarity getting more helpfully involved, so overall good chapter. oh and interesting idea with water playing shenadagins with magic, though I do imagine Trixie could figure out Lyra's spell fairly easily, looking forward to the next one!

Something tells me Rarity may have her own plans aside from helping out...

One of the things I love about this story 'verse is that almost all characters have depth to themselves and their motives, including the Original Mane 6. Sure, in LNLD Applejack, Rarity, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie came across as varying degrees of jerkiness, but subsequent fics have shone light on why they are that way, and made them more complete that way. Maybe now is Rarity's turn?

...besides, anypony would come across as a jerk when they have to deal with a grumpy, bitter, pre-friendship Trixie. The mare's abrasive.
